Abstract

Increased Swedish archaeological interest in postmedieval remains brings up the question of how archaeology can increase our knowledge about a time when historical documents are the main form of source material. This article suggests some of the potential offered by the local utility pots from the period, the red-fired earthenware with lead glaze and finds of waste from potters' workshops.
